Bankruptcy basics are here and can include federal components, as well.  There are conflicts of law issues here, too: what state's laws and what federal laws to use.  This is why you need a bankruptcy attorney.

In terms of where and what you file, you really do need a lawyer.  At least consult with one in your state in which you reside.  Try www.attorneypages.com
